ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon: Vert,
three harps and on a chief argent a stag's massacre sable.

Gyrony arrondi Or semy of torteaux and gules, a raven displayed bendwise
sable

No major changes.
Language (bi-nam,e - sun-bringer, prefer -gyaf is but -gjfafi is ok if needed)
most important.

Old Item: Theodric von Rostock, to be retained as an alternate name.
Old Item: Per pale gules and sable, a cross moline between in dexter two
increscents and in sinister two decrescents argent., to be retained as a
badge.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel as <Æikibrandr
gullgjafi>. <-gyafi> has been corrected to the documented
spelling <-gjafi>. The submitted byname does not follow a documented
pattern and documentation for at least three names with a similar pattern of
{heavenly body} + {nomen agentis} would have to be found for it to be
registerable. The change of <sól> (sun) to <gull-> (gold) was
approved by the submitter. Device forwarded to Laurel with the
Blazon: Gyrony arrondi Or semy of
torteaux and gules, a raven displayed bendwise sable.

4: Ætte of Cylnum - New Name & New Device

rayonny Or

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.
Language most important.
Culture most important.
Allows adding/deleting a word like "de" or "the" or changing
language when the change is small

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device returned for redrawing or redesign. The salamanders are not identifiable
as such. They are not drawn like any heraldic salamander that commenters
could find, a number of which are posted to or linked in the commentary.
The crossing of the salamanders further obscure their identifiability and may
not be able to be overcome even if the salamanders were drawn
properly.

RfS PART VIII - COMPATIBLE ARMORIAL
STYLE 3. Armorial Identifiability. - Elements must be used in a design so as to
preserve their individual identifiability.

Identifiable elements may be rendered unidentifiable
by significant reduction in size, marginal contrast, excessive counterchanging,
voiding, or fimbriation, or by being obscured by other elements of the design.
For instance, a complex line of partition could be difficult to recognize
between two parts of the field that do not have good contrast if most of the
line is also covered by charges. A complex divided field could obscure the
identity of charges counterchanged. Voiding and fimbriation may only be used
with simple geometric charges placed in the center of the design.

5: Ætte of Cylnum - New Badge

OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.

(Fieldless) On a flame Or two salamanders salient in saltire gules

ROUGE SCARPE: Badge returned for redrawing or
redesign for identifiability. As with the device in item 4: the
salamanders are not identifiable as such. They are not drawn like any
heraldic salamander that commenters could find, a number of which are posted to
or linked in the commentary. The crossing of the salamanders further
obscure their identifiability and may not be able to be overcome even if the

Sound ('Aree' of given name) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Submitted as: <Arye ben Nathan Lazar> at Pennsic, the submitter later
requested to have the "Nathan" dropped from the submission.
Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon: Per
bend sinister gules and argent, a demi-wheel issuant from the line of division
argent and a frame saw sable.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon: Azure,

fructed gules two and one three acorns azure.

15: Cailin mac Aonghuis - New Device

Per chevron sable and erminois.

ROUGE SCARPE: Device returned for conflict with Eliza O'Donegan (reg. 04/1996 via the West),
"Per chevron vert and sable." There's one CD for changing half the
field tincture but there is no CD for reversing their order. Ermine furs
are considered tinctures in there own right and not a base color and charges so
their is no CD for the ermine spots.

CoA Glossary of Terms says:

These are heraldic furs. There are many possible
varieties of these, all based on the design of strewn ermine spots (abstract
designs representing ermine tails). The most common are ermine (argent with
sable ermine spots), counter-ermine (sable with argent ermine spots; also
known as ermines, a term that is not used in the SCA due to the possibility of
typographic errors), erminois (Or with sable ermine spots) and pean (sable
with Or ermine spots). Other combinations do not have unique names and must be
explicitly blazoned as <tincture> ermined <tincture>, e.g., gules
ermined argent (gules strewn with argent ermine spots). Unlike other designs
featuring strewn charges, the ermine variants are furs and are classed as
separate tinctures in their own right, rather than as charged fields.

16: Celeste le Marinier - New Name & New Device

Argent, a melusine vert, and on a chief engrailed azure three estoiles
argent.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device returned for conflict with Beatrijs van Cleef (reg. 09/2010 via
Æthelmearc), "Barry azure and ermine," with one CD for changing half
the tincture but none for the enarching. The blazon should be Barry enarched
purpure and ermine.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device returned for conflict with Orlando dei Medici (reg. 08/2003 via the
East), "Or, a crequier vert." There's one CD for adding the
secondaries but none for the type or tincture of the primary.

Precedents:[Per pale azure and argent, a tree blasted and
eradicated, in chief three mullets of eight points counterchanged.] This device
conflicts with Richenda de Jardin, Per pale azure and argent, a crequier
counterchanged. Fortunately, Richenda has provided a letter of permission to
conflict. This letter is necessary because, while there is a CD for adding the
secondary mullets, there is no significant difference between a crequier and a
tree blasted and eradicated. As Boar notes, there exists a precedent that a
generic tree eradicated is not significantly different from a tree blasted and
eradicated, since "there are period depictions of trees with only a few
leaves" [Gabriela Silvana, 07/2000]. There is also a precedent giving a CD
between a crequier and a default tree, but not a substantial difference
"because early heraldic depictions of trees were sometimes drawn much like
a crequier, with one large leaf at the end of each branch" [Lilias de
Cheryngton, 12/2001]. However, the crequier is simply a stylization of a wild
cherry tree (see Woodward, p. 318, along with Plate XXIX fig. 4 and p. 344 fig.
72 for a discussion). While it is a particular stylization, it falls within the
expected range of depiction for trees in general. There is no reason to treat it
differently from other trees, so it is not significantly different from a
generic tree. [Mevanwy verch Gwion, LoAR 01/2005, An Tir-A]

... no difference between a tree vert and a tree
proper. The trunk and branches of a tree proper are less than half the tincture
of the charge. [Johan de Foderingeye, 06/2002,
R-Ealdormere]

19: Connor MacMahon - New Name & New Device

Per chevron inverted Or and sable, a Thor's hammer counterchanged.

20: Constantine Angelos Spartenos - New Name & New Device

No major changes.
Spelling (wishes to keep Spartenos without change) most important.

21: Cynewulf de Divelyn - New Name & New Device

Sable, a wolf sejant ululant and in base two swords inverted in pile

Submitter desires a masculine name.
No major changes.
Sound (preserve given name) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
The submitter should be aware that for the 13th century <Cynwlf de Divelyn>
or for a 10th century Old English name, <Cynewulf æt Difelin> are the
authentic forms according to commentary. If they would prefer either of
these please let me know. Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:Sable, a wolf sejant ululant and in base two
swords inverted in pile argent.

Company of Southern Cross

Or, four mullets in cross sable

No major changes.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device returned for conflict with Morgunn Sheridan (badge, 01/1996, East), Or,
four mullets in cross vert. There is a CD for changing the tincture of the
mullets but no other difference.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel
as <Dianaim Bán>. The submitted
spelling though found in the raw data of the article used as documentation for
the given name is from Annuals that tend to use latter spellings. The
given name has therefore been changed to the Middle Irish spelling for the
name. Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:Gules, a Cavendish knot palewise Or between
in chief two bezants.

24: Einarr rotinnleggr
- New Name & New Device

Azure, in bend a drakkar and a
narwhall haurient argent.

Submitter desires a masculine name.

ROUGE SCARPE:
Name forwarded to Laurel

Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:

25: Ella Blackwolf - New Name & New Device

Vert, a raed rune, a einlaz rune, and a wolf's paw print argent

No major changes.
Sound (Black Wolf) most important.
Meaning (Black Wolf) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:
Vert, a raed rune, a einlaz rune, and a wolf's paw print argent.

The submitter should be aware that there is a high
probability this will be returned at the Laurel level. Paw prints are a
step from period practice (sometimes called a weirdness) and the use of runes in
armory may be another. Any submission can have at most one element that is
a step from period practice and two or more is cause for return. Since the
precedent found on runes does not clearly state that they are a step from period
practice and is twenty years old I am sending this on for a formal, current
ruling. The submitter should be aware that if they wish to try a different
design they may withdraw this submission at any time and resubmit
immediately.

There was discussion as to whether this was
"slot machine heraldry." Although there are three different
charges in the same group the runes are the same type of charge. The rule regarding
this is that there may not be three or more types of charge in the same
group. Since the runes are the same type this design has two types of
charges runes and paw prints and thus is not "slot machine
heraldry."

Precedents:[returning Per chevron enhanced argent and sable, two pawprints and a
wolf's head cabossed counterchanged.] The paw prints are one weirdness, and the
per chevron enhanced is another. (Morgan Blaidd Du, 7/96 p. 19)

It should also be noted that there is no evidence
for the use of runes in period armoury (unlike alphabetic symbols which are
known). (LoAR 17 Jun 90, p. 18)

RfS PART VIII - COMPATIBLE ARMORIAL
STYLE 1. a. ."..As another guideline, three or more types of charges should
not be used in the same group."

26: Ellisoun Elfynstone - New Name & New Device

Purpure, a unicorn rampant contourney and on a chief argent three harps
purpure.

Submitter desires a feminine name.
Spelling ('y' in Elfynstone if possible) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
The submitter should be aware that there is a potential conflict with <Alyssa
Elphinstone> (reg. 02/1994 via Meridies), therefore the locative they
allowed may still be added at the Laurel level. Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:
Purpure, a unicorn rampant contourny and on a chief argent three harps purpure.

27: Eral of Alwoodley - New Name & New Device

Azure, on a pall Or between two stags combatant Argent a triangle

Old Item: Argent, a wolf's head ululant issuant from base and on a chief
embattled sable a bezant between two towers argent., to be retained as a

Per bend gules and sable, a tower argent and a decrescent Or.

29: Finn Skye - New Device

Per fess nebuly argent and azure, in chief a star of eight points four
greater and four lesser azure.

ROUGE SCARPE: Forwarded
to Laurel with the Blazon: Per fess
nebuly argent and azure, in chief a star of eight points four greater and four
lesser azure.

This conflicts with Tir Rígh, Principality of (reg.
09/2010 via An Tir), "Azure, a compass star azure fimbriated argent."
There is a CD fir the field. There is no CD for the fimbriation and there
is none for placement, which is forced in Finn's device. Fortunately with
the assistance of Tir Rígh's Silver Yale Herald, Their Highnesses Alden and
Lenora and the Seneschal of Tir Rígh were gracious enough to supply a letter of
permission to conflict allowing this submission to conflict with their
Principality's badge and avoiding the return.

33: Gandálfr skeggja - New Name & New Device

Sable, a scorpion between a sword fesswise argent pommeled Or and three
pheons argent

No major changes.
Sound (preserve "Gandalf" sounds) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:Sable, a scorpion between three broad-arrows
argent and in chief a sword fesswise argent pommeled Or. Pheons have a
scalloped interior edge; since the emblazon has them with straight edges I have
changed the blazon to broad-arrows the correct term for arrow heads with smooth
inner edge. The submitter should know that the broad-arrows also should be
drawn larger.

34: Genoveva von Lübeck - New Name

Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.
Sound (of given name) most important.

Argent, a griffin passant to sinister sable maintaining a hawthorn
branch, in base a trefoil gules, all within an orle azure.

has a common meaning of "dung or excrement" as well as dirt or
mud. Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:

40: Gwydion atte Beare - New Name & New Device

Argent, a bat-winged Celtic cross sable.

No major changes.
Spelling (Gwydion most important) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel.
Device forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon:Argent, a Celtic cross with bat-wings
displayed inverted sable.

The submitter should be aware that as drawn the
wings obscure the arms of the cross and possibly make it hard to identify.
Gunnvor silfraharr, one of the commenters did an alternate emblazon where the
wings do not obscure the cross which can be found on the ILoI linked at the top
of the page.

41: Gwydion atte Beare and Ella Blackwolf - New Badge

Per fess azure and vert, a warhammer argent charged on the head with a
mullet voided and interlaced within an annulet sable.

ROUGE SCARPE: Forwarded to Laurel with the
Blazon: Per fess azure and vert, a
mallet argent charged on the head with a mullet voided and interlaced within an
annulet sable.

The forms have "warhammer" crossed out and
"Mjollnir inverted" written in. This is not a heraldic depiction
of a Thor's Hammer (aka Mjölnir, Mjǫlnir, Mjollnir, Mjölner or Mjølner.)
[See item 19: on this letter or the ILoI for a heraldic depiction of a
Thor's hammer] so I returned the blazon to warhammer on the ILoI.
Mallet was suggested in commentary and is a better term for this charge than
warhammer. This depiction of a hammer as Thor's hammer dates to 1962 with
the Marvel Comics creation of their Thor superhero. The submitter should
be aware that if what they really wants is a Thor's hammer they can ask to have
this submission withdrawn and resubmit a redesign immediately.

ROUGE SCARPE: Forwarded to Laurel with the

This badge is returned for conflict with the Emperor of Japan (important non-SCA
mon), Dark, a sixteen-petalled chrysanthemum light. This mon is considered to be
tinctureless. Thus there is a CD for fieldlessness but nothing for changing the
tincture of the charge. Nor is there a second CD as Laurel has previously ruled
that there is not a CD between a gillyflower and the Emperor's mon:

Deirdre de la Fleur. Badge. (Fieldless) A gillyflower
quarterly gules and azure. This is being returned for conflict against the
Emperor of Japan (Important mundane armory), Dark, a sixteen-petalled
chrysanthemum light. After comparing the picture submitted and the picture in
Laurel's books on Japanese mon, we felt that we could not grant a difference.

Culture (8th Century Irish) most important.

ROUGE SCARPE: Name forwarded to Laurel

is a Gaelic form of <John>. The earliest example of it in Mari's annals
index (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/)

III.1.a Linguistic Consistency by combining Middle and Early Modern Irish in the
same phrase. I have changed <ingen> to <inghean> to make the
phrase consistent for Early Modern Irish. There is a step from period
practice for the combination of Middle Irish and Early Modern Irish. Since
<Eoin> has not been found before the 13th century the name cannot be made
authentic for 8th century Irish. Device
forwarded to Laurel with the Blazon: Argent,
a raven sable migrant within an annulet azure between three pheons in pall
inverted points to center sable a bordure azure.
